About the piece

Painted in 1630 by Paulus Moreelse, this Dutch Golden Age portrait captures the dignity of a middle-aged gentleman. The work is notable for its exquisite detail, particularly the intricate texture of the dark patterned doublet and the translucent, layered folds of the magnificent ruff collar against a muted, atmospheric background.
